Otteson and the President

President Václav Klaus and I, 7 September 2012[courtesy Jerri Shields]

No, not that president. I was in Prague two weeks ago, and I had the opportunity to meet the president of the Czech Republic, Václav Klaus. Having lived through a communist regime, and played an integral role in its transition to a republic, President Klaus is an impressive person who has lived an extraordinary life. It was an honor and a privilege for me to meet him.

In a future post, I may discuss the provocative paper he gave. In the meantime, here is a picture with both of us.
